Draft Beer Artisan Marshmallows from 240Sweet

All of our puffs are hand-crafted in small batches using local, all-natural and real foods. Each of our hand-cut marshmallows has a different texture, density and aroma. Take a moment to smell the puff before biting into it. Then enjoy the different notes. We suggest sampling all the flavors both as they come and lightly toasted.

I wanted something malty and rich to enjoy with these marshmallows, so I selected this Assam tea from Steven Smith Teamaker. The malty flavors of the Assam tea brought out some of the malty tones in the Marshmallows.

What I Think:

This has to be the most unusual flavored marshmallow I’ve yet to come across. At least, from my perspective, it is unusual. It’s even unusual that I would be trying it, because beer is not something I drink. I don’t like beer, I’ve never really cared for the stuff. But, something about a beer infused marshmallow intrigues me just a little bit.

From the outside, this looks like most handcrafted marshmallows – it’s big and fluffy, and slightly off-white in color. I can smell the beer, but it isn’t a terribly strong scent.

The flavor of the beer in the marshmallow is – thankfully – mild. Oh, it’s definitely discernible. But, it doesn’t taste as though I just took a big swig of beer. It tastes like marshmallow, first and foremost, with a hint of beer mingling with the sweet flavor of the confection.

This was also a marshmallow that I felt I had to experience toasted, and since I don’t have the grill fired up and I don’t have the fireplace going … and I’m not camping, I utilized technology and used the broiler on my oven to toast one of these puffs. The heat adds an interesting element to the marshmallow, obviously, it makes it creamier, but I also noticed that the caramelized, crispy edges of the marshmallow had a malty beer taste that I hadn’t noticed in the non-roasted puff.

My Final Thoughts:

I am not a fan of beer, as I’ve mentioned, but, I AM a fan of these Draft Beer flavored Marshmallows! I am really glad that I got the opportunity to try these!
